Lyrics
Memory fails me, names and faces blur
– Inkumbulo iyangihluleka, amagama nobuso buyafiphala
There is only after, or before
– Kukhona kuphela ngemva, noma ngaphambi
Am I so different? Have I changed?
– Ingabe ngihluke kakhulu? Ingabe ngishintshile?
I do not recognise my face
– Angiboni ubuso bami
The scar fades but pulls inside
– Lesi sibazi siyaphela kodwa singene ngaphakathi
Tugging at me all the time
– Ngidonsa ngaso sonke isikhathi
Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out
– Ukuhlafuna umuzwa nokuwukhipha
Crouched in a ball gown
– Ukugoba ngengubo yebhola
Anxious and ashamed
– Ukukhathazeka namahloni
The vague humiliations of faith
– Ukuhlazeka okungacacile kokholo
I do not find worthiness in virtue
– Angikutholi kuwufanele ubuhle
I no longer try to be good
– Angisazami ukuba muhle
It didn’t keep me safe
– Akungigcinanga ngiphephile
Like you told me that it would
– Njengoba ungitshele ukuthi kuzokwenzeka
So come on, tear me wide open
– Ngakho woza, ngidabule
A terrible gift
– Isipho esibi
Let the chorus console me
– Ake ikhorasi ingiduduze
Sympathy magic
– Umlingo wokuzwelana
And light coming in the window just so
– Futhi ukukhanya okuza efasiteleni kunjalo nje
And the wind through my fingers
– Nomoya ngeminwe yami
The only God that I know
– Unkulunkulu kuphela engimaziyo
And it does not want me on my knees to believe
– Futhi ayifuni ukuba ngiguqe ngamadolo ngikholwe
Head high, arms wide
– Ikhanda liphakeme, izingalo zibanzi
Aching, aching, aching
– Ubuhlungu, ubuhlungu, ubuhlungu
And alive
– Futhi uyaphila
And alive
– Futhi uyaphila
So I don’t have to be worthy
– Ngakho akudingeki ukuba ngibe ofanelekayo
I no longer try to be good
– Angisazami ukuba muhle
It didn’t keep me safe
– Akungigcinanga ngiphephile
Like you told me that it would
– Njengoba ungitshele ukuthi kuzokwenzeka
So come on, tear me wide open
– Ngakho woza, ngidabule
‘Til I’m losing my mind
– ‘Ngize ngilahlekelwe ingqondo yami
‘Til I cannot contain it
– ‘Kuze kube yilapho ngingakwazi ukuyibamba
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
– Ila-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
So come on, come on, I can take it
– Ngakho woza, woza, ngingayithatha
Give me everything you got
– Nginike konke onakho
What else? What else? What else? What else?
– Yini enye? Yini enye? Yini enye? Yini enye?
So come on, come on, I can take it
– Ngakho woza, woza, ngingayithatha
Give me everything you got
– Nginike konke onakho
What else? What else? What else? What else?
– Yini enye? Yini enye? Yini enye? Yini enye?
Sympathy magic
– Umlingo wokuzwelana
Sympathy magic
– Umlingo wokuzwelana
So come on, come on, I can take it
– Ngakho woza, woza, ngingayithatha
Sympathy magic
– Umlingo wokuzwelana
Sympathy magic
– Umlingo wokuzwelana
So come on, come on, I can take it
– Ngakho woza, woza, ngingayithatha
(Come on, come on, come on, come on)
– (Woza, woza, woza, woza)
Sympathy magic (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
– Umlingo wokuzwelana (Woza, woza, woza, woza)
Sympathy magic (Come on)
– Umlingo wokuzwelana (Woza)
Sympathy magic (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
– Umlingo wokuzwelana (Woza, woza, woza, woza)
Sympathy magic (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
– Umlingo wokuzwelana (Woza, woza, woza, woza)
Sympathy magic (Come on, come on, come on, come on)
– Umlingo wokuzwelana (Woza, woza, woza, woza)
Sympathy magic (Come on)
– Umlingo wokuzwelana (Woza)
Ah
– Ah
